Xin 1,487 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Some of these scores are lulz and super obvious. Not at the US giving Yuzuru sub 200 and China giving Jin the highest point by far. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Lipington 3,562 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 figure skating is a subjective sport so its real easy to give biased opinions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffles8000 541 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 i mean i think the chinese judge was pretty fair, but even when i was looking at the chart of the judge's scoring, i thought judge 2 (usa) was being super hard on yuzu... i mean, it's all subjective and i think in the end the results were well deserved so..

fallingslowly 960 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The US tried it with not only Yuzuru's score but Nathan's as well, lmao. That would have beaten the all-time record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baiichi 3,992 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 China is hilarious tbh. Like they graded Boyang so high, it's ridiculous. But they are quite fair overall and just because she/he boosted Boyang, doesn't mean she/he downgrades everyone else (too harsh on Javier tho) Can't say the same for Lorrie Parker of the US. Yet, ISU will only investigate the Chinese judge. What double standard tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Juan and only 5,432 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The only problem I see with the score is China's score for Javier Fernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Anne 1,380 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The USA judge tried hard to stop Yuzu getting his well-deserved gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeo 13,013 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I still don't understand why Olympics allow to judge the contestants from the same country, imo it's quite ridiculous, most people will be biased in an event like that. It's different from regular championships because they're about individuals but Olympics are all about countries and national prides, it really should be changed imo.

kokoBOB 399 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The US tried it with not only Yuzuru's score but Nathan's as well, lmao. That would have beaten the all-time record. My favourite is part is that all of the other judges agreed that Nathan bested Yuzu by 3-10 points (except China but lol, if I were the Chinese judge I would give Boyang everything too just because) then there is USA who is like nah, Nathan was 30 points better....... Stupid part is the Chinese judge is being investigated but the judge from the USA isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passing_fancy 555 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Transparent as fuck. And the fact that only the Chinese judge is being investigated really shows the power imbalance between the federations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetoile 355 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Smh at the Chinese and American judge. American judge gave +180 for Adam Rippon (sorry, but he has no quads so he definitely should not have gotten +180) and Vincent has a better score than Yuzuru of all people. The Chinese judge scored Boyang Jin well above Yuzuru, Shoma AND Javier. I still don't understand why Olympics allow to judge the contestants from the same country, imo it's quite ridiculous, most people will be biased in an event like that. It's different from regular championships because they're about individuals but Olympics are all about countries and national prides, it really should be changed imo. I've seen other judged sports in the Olympic Games and there are often some athletes that have the same nationality as one of the judges. It's hard to avoid having a judge with the same nationality if the judge who has the expertise to judge the sport is also from a country that produces a lot of athletes that excel in that sport. The lowest and highest scores are dropped for other judged sports and apparently for figure skating, they do the same thing. This helps to make things a bit more fair. Nevertheless, from what I've seen, figure skating has some of the most blatantly bias judges in the Olympic Games -- they don't even bother trying to hide the fact that they're underscoring and overscoring certain athletes by huge margins.

monochrome. 480 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 China isn't even trying to be subtle. They tried to get Boyang the medal over Shoma or Javi. In relative to other judges' scores, around Boyang(+20), Javi(-15), Shoma(-10). smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLARI 178 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 USA judge has no shame,but only the chinese judge is being investigated, what a joke. Thank God, Yuzuru did well even with that injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonicPotato 2,197 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Lowest and highest scores aren't counted iirc. Sucks for the contestants who don't have a judge from their country in the panel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, from what I've seen, figure skating has some of the most blatantly bias judges in the Olympic Games -- they don't even bother trying to hide the fact that they're underscoring and overscoring certain athletes by huge margins.I’d like them to still sit on the judging panel but obstain from judging when the skater is from their own country. But that wouldn’t stop the under the table “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours†deals from happening though. I don’t know what the solution is. But them getting rid of the anonymity of the scores is definitely a move in the right direction. Transparency is always better. What do the red and green indicate?? Green means the element was executed correctly, red means not and yellow means the element is under review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeo 13,013 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 What do the red and green indicate?? afaik green means the skater got positive GOE (grade of execution) for the particular element and red means negative. Black mean it's neutral and there was no extra or minus points for the execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpletea 3,148 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 China and US both tried to get their respective skaters on the podium (4th & 5th place) by overscoring them and underscoring the men that threatened their podium position + general bias torwards their respective countries skaters... smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
